Third Place-winning entry of Zip Cod Ness's Aug. 2005 Apple of Enlightenment revival. The theme/ prompt was "What if there was a blizzard in Summers?". Here, I figured, if there was a blizzard in Summers, why not go all the way and have a major freeze, even extending out to the surrounding waters? This would mean no boat ride to Scaraba, so the Chosen Four would have to bundle up and walk there. But with such a glorious triple pun of a title, you can forget about what lurks under the waves...

There's something undeniably creepy about the Ghost of Starman, what with that glowing aura around the dark palette of its body. Having recently read the Alex Ross masterpiece "Marvels", I'd REALLY loved how he painted Cyclops's visor and tried to borrow a bit of that from memory, here. This is one of my favorite pieces of mine to date, just because it's fairly simple, yet I feel, so very effective.
